Chapter 1584
Despite Richard's subtle choice of words, it was not a lie. There was really a water column rising from the sea. To be precise, it was a pillar of air, and the height of the rise was limited. It was easy to miss if one did not pay attention to it.
Just by looking at the aura of this pillar of air, one could tell that it was probably not a large whale that was spraying water.
Zhang Zian moved the telescope down a little and saw a black, high dorsal fin that cut the sea like a military knife.
If one only saw the dorsal fin and did not see the water spray, an ordinary person would most likely think that it was a great white shark. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that the dorsal fin was slightly different from the equilateral triangle dorsal fin of a great white shark. It was more like a rectangle with a narrow top and a wide bottom.
Of course, he was only in the mood to carefully observe the dorsal fin when he was standing safely on the shore. If he was close to the dorsal fin, his only thought would probably be to run away ...
In fact, whales and sharks were different in many ways. For example, the way they swam was different. Sharks swam underwater most of the time. Even if their dorsal fins were exposed, their bodies remained straight. However, whales were different. When whales floated on the surface of the water, they liked to use their bodies to move around in the sea, up and down.
There was also the way they swung their tail fins. Sharks swung their tail fins left and right, while whales and dolphins swung their tail fins up and down.
Zhang Zian recognized that it was a whale, and when it got closer, especially when its body rose out of the water like a butterfly swimmer because of pleasure, he confirmed from its black-and-white body that it was an Orca.
Killer whales were social animals, like a pack of wolves in the sea. Seeing one often meant that there was another group nearby.
Sure enough, when he moved the telescope in the direction of the deep sea, he saw more killer whales approaching.
Killer whales were the overlords of the sea and even fed on other whales. Even great white sharks were not a match for killer whales, but they were particularly friendly to humans. If you encountered stray cats and dogs outside, it was best not to slip away for safety reasons. However, if you encountered killer whales in the sea, as long as they were close enough, they could have a good time.
They were so friendly to humans, and the half-human, half-fish Sihwa was closer to them in size, so it was only natural that they would warmly welcome her.
It turned out that Sihwa, who was in a bad mood, was hugging the dorsal fins of the killer whales and swimming around in the sea with them. It was as if she was having so much fun that she had forgotten what her mission was. Zhang Zian was too far away to remind her, so she could only stare.
No matter what kind of social animal it was, it would have one or several leaders. It could not be without a leader.
Zhang Zian observed for a while and noticed that there was a larger female whale in the group. When the other whales played with each other or played with Sihwa, they would all be respectful and carefully avoid this whale ... If there were no accidents, it should be the leader of this group of whales.
Sihwa played with the other whales for a while before she remembered what she had to do. She floated on the surface of the sea and turned her head as if she was looking for something. When she saw the whale, she swam towards it and climbed up to its head as if she was whispering something.
The female whale seemed to have understood what she meant. It shook its tail fin and dived into the sea, while Sihwa held its dorsal fin and took a ride.
The other whales also dived into the water.
The surface of the sea returned to its calm state.
"Is she alright?" Fati asked worriedly.
Seeing that she had not come out after sinking into the water, it guessed that she might be in danger.
"Don't worry, the thing that can hurt her in the water hasn't been born yet. " Zhang Zian, on the other hand, was very open-minded."Fortune favors the foolish. Besides, even if she's in danger, there's only a few of us. Who can save her?"
He had grown up in the coastal area. Although he was not a landlubber, if he were to swim so far into the sea to save people, he would not have the strength to swim back by the time he swam over. If Sihwa could not handle it, he would have been in vain.
Fa tuo looked at the broken leg and muttered,""This must be the guidance of God's will. It allowed us to find this broken leg and blow the horn for the destruction of the wicked."
The guidance of the Divine Will ...
Zhang Zian didn't think that this had anything to do with God. It was just that they happened to choose the seaside road. Even if the wolves didn't find the broken foot, the elves would.
At this time, water splashed on the surface of the sea. The group of whales surfaced again, and Sihwa was perfectly fine as she climbed onto the dorsal fin of the whale.
The group of whales swam to the shore, but they were limited by their size and did not dare to swim too close. The last section of the road was left to Sihwa to swim over herself.
"How is it?" Zhang Zian asked.
Sihwa wiped the seawater off her face and nodded.""There is indeed an undercurrent that flows North under the coast. It's warmer and flows very fast. As for where it flows to ... It's not very clear. Anyway, it has been flowing North. Just now, it took me to dive into the undercurrent and experience it."
She turned around and pointed at the female whale, saying excitedly,""It's very old, but it's very smart. It can understand everything I say. I've never seen such a smart whale. It's easier to talk to it than to talk to you!"
"Is it very old?" Zhang Zian asked.
"It's very old. It's so old that it can't even tell how old it is. The other whales are all its grandsons or even great-grandsons!" Sihwa answered with certainty.
Zhang Zian thought for a moment."In that case, maybe it's the killer whale that's officially called J2 but nicknamed 'old grandma' by everyone."
"Kaka? J2？”Richard landed without a sound and scratched his head with his bird claws."I know about J2 + 6!"
Sihwa was intrigued."So it's called an old grandma?" How old is it?"
Zhang Zian counted with his fingers."It is said that it was born in 1911, a year before the sinking of the Titanic. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen! Now, it was already extremely old! The last time it was seen was 2016, and the last time was 2014. At that time, it led a group of whales from the coast of California to the North of the George Strait ... After 2016, no one has seen it again, and it was speculated that it might have died of old age. I didn't expect it to still be alive. "
"In 2016, it was witnessed in the sarichi sea." He emphasized, but found that the elves didn't understand, so he added,""The sarichi Coast is the place where people frequently find broken feet."
J2 must have often led its family of whales to patrol the northeast Pacific Coast, especially the section between California and the sarichi sea, so it definitely had a say. Since it said that there was an undercurrent that was heading north, it must be true.
The school of whales was still swimming not far from the shore. When the mother whale flipped over, its dorsal fin was completely exposed, and from the iconic white ban on its dorsal fin, he confirmed its identity. It was J2, who had disappeared from human sight for a long time, so he took a few photos.
After leaving the mahogany forest, he would upload these photos to the internet. Many people who were concerned about J2's fate would be relieved.
